Naples man arrested for beating officer

A Naples man is accused of beating up a Collier deputy at a gas station, and other deputies had to come to his rescue.

53-year-old Karl Ollendorff is being charged with battery on a law enforcement official and resisting arrest.

It all happened at the Kangaroo Express gas station on Bayshore and US 41 just after midnight on Monday morning when the clerk at the gas station called 911 to report a creepy guy.

"I've never seen him before, so I'm just a little uneasy," the clerk told a dispatcher.

The clerk was working alone Sunday night into Monday morning and felt uncomfortable after Ollendorff wouldn't leave her alone.

"I have a gentleman sitting out front. He keeps walking in, stares at me for a while and then walk back out and comes back in," the clerk said.

When a deputy arrived, he kept asking Ollendorff for his ID to write a trespass warning, but Ollendorff refused to give it up.

"Every time I ask him how he's doing, he just stares at me and opens my door and slams it," the clerk said.

The deputy tried to put Ollendorff in handcuffs, but the deputy said Ollendorff punched him in the face and the two continued to fight on the ground. The deputy had to call for backup, and when another officer arrived, he was able to break up the fight. The deputy has minor injuries.
